Funny Side-Effect to Lapband

My next door neighbor stopped by last week and took at look at my fattest dog, said he's looking a little slimmer these days! He definitely is! I eat less, he gets less from me! :confused:

LOL - my dog is losing weight too. Mostly because I no longer feel so mean about refusing to give her extra food if she's already eaten the appropriate portion! I figure if I can live on fewer calories, so can she! I will admit that I slowly reduced the amount of food she was getting so she wouldn't have to go 'cold turkey' with her portion size. I'm just a softy when it comes to my pets!

Did you all post pictures of your furry friends on that thread?

This is a funny thread. :biggrin1: We took our dog with us for the family July 4th get together and she was given the name of "furry walrus". She really looks like a walrus with legs. She is definitely over 100 lbs and we've had her on Science Diet RD (perscription food from vet) and Wellness Weight Mgmt food. If we could only get our kids to quit feeding her. :) This can be her "Before" pic. :confused:

My dad mentioned this the other day "Is SamantherSue getting surgery too?" (heh, that rhymed) So, I am excited for her to be getting out. We don't walk her enough, so I started warning her the other day "soooon, we will be outside walking and losing weight, and you will too".

Poor dog, she has gotten so used to being a couch dog, this is going to be the shock of her life.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
